Jul 17, 2011

I have traced this image from a Jpeg into a Vector to colour but how can I change the black out lines into other colours. When I right click the mouse with an outline selected the colour appears around the line but there is still a fine black line in the centre of it. I want to change the actual outline into another colour
I produce one outlined and filled alphabet letter per A4 page to create a sign for a shop window, changing the colours every three months. I use Outline Object for the outline. Is there a method by which the outline colour of a previous letter can be changed or must I recreate the letter if I require a different outline colour?
If there is an easier way to outline a JPEG image instead of changing the nodes. I am looking at a lot of pictures to do this with and can not possibly change the nodes with all of them.
I have a black vector image on a transparent bg in eps format which I wish to change to white to put on a black bg in illustrator. The only way I know how is to change it in photoshop with color overlay but when I place it in illustrator, the edges are no longer crisp.Â
I have a very simple picture in jpeg format. The picture is all in white on an orange background.I would like to use Paint.net to select the white picture and place it on no-colour background.
how to outline a word so it can vector cut on a laser engraver. I am using corel draw x5 and I am trying to put "COWBOYS" on a piece of wood and I want the letters connected so it is one piece of wood. Whenever I spell cowboys I can't configure it as hairline (to vector cut).Â
I'd like to ask if it is possible to change colour of outline according to filling. I've traced the raster picture (outline tracing) and there is no outline and the picture seems to be disturbed by tiny white lines. So I'd add hair outline and I'd like to have the same colour of the outline as is the object. Is there any function what is able change it at once and all at the same time?
Recently I have been making cloisonne pins and was referred to Vector Files. I take a bitmap and use the trace outline to either detailed or clip-art depending on which looks better.Â
My problem occurs after my artwork is finished and needing to create a general outline of the object to show what the border of the pin would be. I am also trying to provide a look with the slightest bit of depth to show how the impression of the lapel pin should look.
I dont have any problems converting this: Â [URL].... Â to this: Â [URL].... Â but i am not sure how i go about saving it so it is just the blak and white file??
Use CorelDraw X for laser engraving? I did have X3 and just changed to X5 and need to cut Ovals in  Flexi Brass and the file engraved fine, but did not vector cut the Red outline.
I am trying to create colour samples of vector objects which I have initially drawn in a Purple shade card. Now I would like to have the same object in a blue shadecard and then a green shade card maintaining relationships between the colours in the different parts of the object.
What I am trying to do is check if a shape does not match a known set of values. If it does not it will run code where the "If msgbox" is at. What I have works if my line or object has a Cyan outline. The issue I am having is when it is checking a line that is any other color that doesn't have Cyan = 100, it errors out.
Below is what I am trying to use.
Sub Start()       Dim s As Shape       Dim sr As ShapeRange                    ' ActivePage.Shapes.All.CreateSelection       Set sr = ActiveSelectionRange                     For Each s In sr           If s.Type = cdrTextShape Then GoTo s_A           If s.Outline.Color.CMYKCyan = 100 Then GoTo s_A                                If MsgBox("dude", vbOKCancel) = vbCancel Then GoTo s_B           s_A:   Next ss_B:End Sub
I am having trouble doing this in my current software, Serif Drawplus, PSE, Photoplus, (I have Gimp but haven't used it ever yet). And I am considering buying X6 for use in other projects. So, can x6 do this in either Photo Paint with a bitmap, or in X6 with a group of Vectors?
I want to wrap a bottle with a logo. The mesh warps aren't working for me in the above applications, and envelope warping will not work either. Transform-Warp is not present in PSE. I mention that because I see a tutorial for PS using that. How would Corel X6 Suite do this? I am considering buying the software once some questions I have about it are cleared up. I wish Corel would make the manual and tutorial videos public. I'd rather download the trial for actually using it rather than trying to see if some feature is present, or a workaround for a feature a competitor has.
I am also hoping to make in this project, some 10-20 different bottles with the logo on, of different sized bottles and different rotations of the bottles. Plan D is acquainting myself with Blender, but lets hope I don't have to go that far!
Corel Draw 5 did this very nicely but it's obsolete and I can't load it onto this machine (HP all-in-one Pavilion desktop with Windows 8).  I am working with hand-drawn images but since I need to manipulate the outline/s with a 4 - 12 pixel tool, it would be great to just be editing nodes instead. Creating the image from scratch as a vector graphic would be a horrible large amount of work and is not feasible at this time. Is there any way other than Corel Draw 5 to make the conversion from bitmap-type images to editable vector graphics, ie: editable nodes?  PS - I don't have $700 - $1000 to spend on software at this point but do have Photoshop Elements 11, Premiere 11 and Lightroom, plus GIMP and the usual. Where should I start?
I have a grayscale tif of a golf ball that I want to turn into one PMS color vector art, using only screens of that PMS color. I can convert it to vector easy enough but having no luck getting it to my chosen color. Â I tried Illustrator support but some of the dialogue boxes they reference don't match what's there.
I have found macro's to change specific RGB values to different specific values within a Corel file. I have not been successful in finding a solution on applying the same sort of change across multiple files. i.e. All Corel files within a folder will search for specific RGB's that I`ve told it to change to other specific RGB's.
I know that Corel has a macro that accomplishes a batch process where it will convert files to different file types.
I am having an issue with colours changing on me when I convert files Corel Draw files in to AI files. The colours seem to get darker. I am converting files to AI but this is making it rather difficult.
I print to a Canon Colour Image Runner printer. The default colour setting is set to mono.
I've noticed when I open a colour image in Coreldraw, navigate to Print Setup, change the job settings to Colour, then print, it still comes out mono, or sometimes come out as a random combination of both mono and colour.
I've found this to be caused the setting called 'Output colour bitmaps as'. This appears to set itself to match the default printer settings on the host pc. Ie my printer is set to Mono by default, hence the above setting sets itself to Grayscale to match. If i choose to print my Coreldraw document in colour, the above mentioned setting remains set to Grayscale, hence the printed output is for bitmaps is grayscale, not colour as i selected.
Likewise if i change my printer defaults to colour, the 'Output colour bitmaps as' setting changes itself to RGB, and then there is no problem.
I assume this is a bug, as if one of my users chooses to print a document in colour, then it should come out in colour. It shouldn't be necessary to change *another* setting to achieve this.
I am new to X4 and cannot seem to get rid of the white background when I export a vector to a jpg file. This is probably a no brainier but I have tried setting the page background to none and a few other things but to no avail.
I have an image of a seed that is currently black and whit and I would like to make it beige but keep the original... well ?texture? Don’t really know what to call it.... but the look of the seed. Basically I want it to look exactly the same except in a different colour.
I have imported a jpeg image by double clicking it and it is showing as a vector in the workspace.All the tools on the left are greyed out(eg clone brush) except for the text tool.On selecting the text tool instead of the usual box showing a blue bar appears on top of the screen which can be moved about.
I recently switched to coreldraw x5. is there a way to change default guidelines color. and this setting should remain forever. Â
one more thing i want the green processing filling, which is now present in the background tasks to be visible. ...just like in older versions how can i do it?
I am currently unable to access the color table in the mode image section. It is blank so that I cannot select it...any pointers? Also, I am having a hard time changing the colors on my jpeg image and changing the white part of the image transparent.Â
i want to create a sticker out of a simple black tribal design and it is an image edited with corel photo paint.but to cut the sticker i need to obtain its outline in corel draw.doing the job with the bezier tool is a tedious job and also i dont have any experience using drawing tools.but i need an outline as if it was drawn using a drawing tool into which i can fill color.
So I'm able to use the dashed stroke normally if I create my own lines or shapes, but I'm using an image that I have image traced, expanded, and ungrouped, and I'm able to change the weight of the stroke and the brush but not apply a dashed stroke or a different brush profile, but I'm more concerned with the stroke. I haven't forgotten the gap.. What's up? Does it just not work on image traced stuff?
Is there a  way of scaling the "outline" when scaling the image... automatically? It seem that this has to be checked in the "Outline Pen" dialogue box every time you add an "outline" to an image.......and it starts to become a tedious task if you forget to do that to an entire project.
That just happened to me with 30 different images. I had to go back and "check" the box to every single outline.
I am trying to place my cut outline on my image. I have turned the image from a jpeg to a bitmap but am still having trouble placing the cut line on it.
